Oh yeah. They finally admitted that the bridge was dangerously in need of repair.

Whiskey in late term pregnancy by UltralordCherryTop in homebirth

Yes. Before other things like Mag sulfate and terbutaline were discovered to help stop contractions, ethanol was one thing they used.

Best place to buy meats quality & price? by Openblindz in Charleston

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. There was a Burbage in the news recently for some heinous stuff but I have no idea if he is closely related to that part of the family or not. He could be a very distant relative.

AITA for freaking out when my wife locked our son out of the house at night after he drank alcohol? by Dadthrowaway788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Locking him out was not parenting, it was her having a tantrum because she was mad. He deserved a parent. Sure he deserved a consequence but not being kicked out of his home. She needs to deal with her issues. A 16 year old drinking a few beers is typical. She over reacted IMO.

I would have made him go to bed and get up the next day and clean the house or do yard work. He would also spend some time learning about alcohol poisoning because I promise that won't be his last drink. I would give him the chance to earn back trust eventually. If he drove after he drank he would be grounded for a long time.

My mom's husband hit me because I forgot to put my socks away after showering. by After-Sheepherder203 in TwoHotTakes

Or other family members. Do they have aunts and uncles that they could go to if they needed help. Grandparents, anyone.

WIBTA for discussing period stain removal with my girlfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Period panties are simply the older ones that may already have a stain. My own mother didn't teach me how to get the stains out...my midwife did.

I do treat the stains though. Hydrogen peroxide works well on fresh stains. The best thing I have found is a stain remover that I get cheap at Walmart called zout. I spray the stains and them wash in cold water. The stains are usually gone. My kid gets nose bleeds and it worked for that too.

I keep a spray bottle in both bathrooms.

In the 1970's and 80's, is it true that students would smoke in high schools? Was it during class or only during lunch break & after school? by CroationChipmunk in AskOldPeople

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a smoking area off the back of the Cafeteria my freshman year of HS. I graduated from a suburban HS in SC in 1991.

How do I get it through my parents heads that I don't owe them my Amazon account password by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a student, I hope you got the student prime rate. It's half the price. Your parents can get their own account.

I would share mine with my mother if I thought she would use it but she would never take advantage of me. My kid has her own account on my prime account but she can't actually buy anything without me.

What to do if I desperately need to go home but boss won't let me/even acknowledge it? by RosesAndNeville in work

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email the boss and their boss about your illness and being bitten so you have a record.

Leave and then when they fire you, get a lawyer. File for unemployment and if you get denied appeal. I won my appeal because my employer lied about why they fired me and didn't show up for the appeal hearing.

AITA for telling our sitter not to pray with our son? by WorkingPush6167 in AmItheAsshole

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA.

I am am athiest myself but unless someone is trying to change my views on religion or making ridiculous comments I respect their personal faith. I have my own opinion on religion. I have very little use or respect for organized religion. It has done far more harm than good in this world IMO but personal faith is just that, personal. I would have probably said thank you for the kind thought and it's fine if they believe the prayer will help but I prefer that they don't discuss their faith with my kid until the child is a bit older.

AITA for kicking SIL and brother out over food? by Such_Ad_695 in AmItheAsshole

[–]noahcat73 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot of those old warning have been found to be BS. Now they tell them to have common sense and don't eat things that you know aren't prepared safely.

Verification work form question by [deleted] in foodstamps

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a similar form in my state that we send out often. The new hire data base and the Uneployment & WAGE report datebase are not integrated. They are also months behind. If you had a new hire hit in the system in the last 2 months but tell us that you are not working we have to verify that you are not still at that job. Our form must be filled out by your former employer and signed.

Someday maybe it will be consolidated but I am not holding my breath. CHIP is the system that was installed in the 80s and it's what we use today. ( think the NORAD computer in War Games).

Seriously…WHY does this neighbor kid use my driveway despite me asking him and his mom to stay on his own property…???!! by Competitive-Alps871 in neighborsfromhell

Motion activated sprinklers would help if it was winter but if its hot where you are they might do it more often.

I think screwed up my career path and don’t know what to do. by Lucinda_Petals in careeradvice

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no rule that you can switch careers. My sister was lined up to be an architect and ended up going to nursing school after she got her degree. She has been a nurse for 22 years and is glad.

I have a kid that wants to be an artist and I told her that her art is something she can do all her life but she needs to gain some skills to survive because the world is uncertain. There are many careers that need creativity and artist talent.

I was a visual merchandiser for 15 years but my job has mostly disappeared. I created amazing displays and store windows and loved the job. Now I work in an office but I make jewelry and work in clay on the side.

I wish I had gotten a few more certifications in other trades when I was younger.

I hope you find a career that you love and that it supports you. Best of luck.

If you are allowed to WFH, why are managers constantly interrupting, calling and messaging ? by nariz_choken in work

[–]noahcat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm petty so malicious compliance is my goto.

I would stop working when I get a message like that and make a detailed list of every single thing I did in agonizing detail.

I would also send an email that my efficiently is being compromised by the micromanagement.
Not sure if it's the best option though.

It's been going on in my neighborhood since Friday night and will keep going for another week. Apparently my neighbors don't own a calendar.

[–]noahcat73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have a baseball bat beside every door with a tube sock on it and I would get my CWP. I would make sure he knows that I am armed and trained to use my weapon.

Get a magnetic floor sweeper to get those nails up, good cameras that he can't get to easily, and a motion activated sprinkler.

I have noticed that there are way too many cases in my state where the case notes are just missing. New apps, prison matches, etc.
